The Heavenly Demon Sect arrived faster than anyone in the Hao Xian Sect had expected. They were at the city gates in less than ten days. The appearance of thousands of Heavenly Demon Sect disciples still put pressure on the Hao Xian Sect.
As soon as the Heavenly Demon Sect arrived, they began to frantically attack the mountain-protecting formation. Thousands of Martial Kings attacking together, this power was extremely terrifying.
Fortunately, the mountain-protecting formation had been fully restored by Zhang Hao this time, regaining its Peak power. At this moment, no matter how the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples attacked, it remained incredibly strong.
Cao Jun, Tu Zhan, Guo Wei, and the various Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect stood before the mountain-protecting formation. Watching the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples frantically attack the mountain-protecting formation. Tu Zhan said with great satisfaction, "That kid Zhang Hao did a good job of repairing this mountain-protecting formation. He has made a great contribution to our Hao Xian Sect."
Cao Jun snorted coldly and said, "Although it's repaired, it also consumed a lot of our Hao Xian Sect's resources."
Tu Zhan said indifferently, "Sect Leader, you want the horse to run but not eat grass. How is that possible? Furthermore, repairing the mountain-protecting formation naturally requires Materials. Otherwise, how could such a large mountain-protecting formation be repaired out of thin air!"
Guo Wei frowned and said, "Although we have the mountain-protecting formation, we absolutely cannot rely solely on it and think we can rest easy. You should know that there is no impenetrable fortress."
Tu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
"Then what does the Supreme Elder think should be done?" Cao Jun quickly looked at Guo Wei and asked.
Just as Guo Wei was about to speak, suddenly, a Blood Robe Old Man flew into the air. Looking at the people of the Hao Xian Sect before him, he shouted, "Hao Xian Sect, is there anyone who dares to fight this Old Man!"
"Martial Emperor?"
Below, Cao Jun, Tu Zhan, and the others were all shocked. They felt a mountain-like pressure that made them feel breathless. This Old Man's casual pressure could suppress them; he was simply too strong.
Only Guo Wei's expression was slightly solemn. He was about to go out.
"Supreme Elder! You mustn't! Is the Heavenly Demon Sect trying to lure you into action?" Tu Zhan quickly said to Guo Wei.
Guo Wei shook his head and said, "There is no impenetrable fortress in this world. Offense and defense combined is the best defense. Moreover, if I don't fight, it will be a great blow to the morale of our Hao Xian Sect."
Tu Zhan and Cao Jun stopped speaking upon hearing this, seemingly also agreeing that what Guo Wei said made sense.
After speaking, Guo Wei swept into the air and confronted the Heavenly Demon Sect's Elder in the void.
"You are the Hao Xian Sect's Supreme Elder?"
The Heavenly Demon Sect's Elder looked at Guo Wei.
"That's right," Guo Wei said indifferently.
"You have guts. I hope you don't disappoint me."
The Heavenly Demon Sect's Elder struck a palm towards Guo Wei.
A master's move reveals their skill.
This palm strike drew upon the power of heaven and earth, with pressure like a mountain. Guo Wei's expression changed. As his figure flickered, he also sent out a palm strike. The two sides exchanged blows, instantly fighting hundreds of rounds. Endless energy surged in the void. The energy that casually leaked out could shatter the surrounding giant rocks.
By the time Zhang Hao and Liu Mengyao arrived, the battle between Guo Wei and the Heavenly Demon Sect Elder in the void had reached a fever pitch.
"This Old man, he's actually this powerful?"
When Zhang Hao saw the Old man fighting the Heavenly Demon Sect Elder in the void, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although he felt this Old man's cultivation wasn't weak, he had never expected him to be a Martial Warrior of the Martial Emperor Realm. The Martial Emperor Realm was already at the Peak in the Northern Region.
"Ah!"
A figure fell from the void. It was Guo Wei.
"Immediately activate the mountain-protecting formation!"
When Cao Jun saw that their side's Supreme Elder Guo Wei had lost, his expression changed, and he quickly shouted.
After the mountain-protecting formation was activated, an invisible energy shield blocked the mountain gate.
"Hmph!"
The Blood Robe Old Man struck down with a palm. The giant palm print heavily struck the energy shield of the mountain-protecting formation. It instantly trembled. The mountain-protecting formation slightly dimmed.
Even Zhang Hao was startled.
Fortunately, after absorbing endless crystal energy, the mountain-protecting formation remained as strong as before.
"Hmph, I'll come back to learn in three days."
The Blood Robe Old Man flew away, and then the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect also withdrew.
Tu Zhan quickly looked at Elder Guo Wei and asked, "Elder, how are you?"
Guo Wei's face was extremely pale. He waved his hand and coughed a few times, saying, "Don't worry, I won't die yet. The Heavenly Demon Sect's Elder is stronger than me, but he also paid a considerable price to defeat me. He's probably gone back to recuperate now."
Upon hearing this, Tu Zhan, Cao Jun, and the others finally understood why the Heavenly Demon Sect's people had suddenly left.
In the Heavenly Demon Sect's large camp.
The Heavenly Demon Sect's Elder Su Li looked at the Blood Robe Old Man before him and said, "San Zhou, can you cast the spell now?"
The Old Man said with a look of certainty, "Elder, yes. San Zhou has sensed that the perpetrator is inside the Hao Xian Sect. I can now open the Heavenly Eye and, in a very short time, lock onto the target through the demon seed within the perpetrator's body and then glimpse the perpetrator's appearance."
"Good, perform the spell. This Elder will personally assist you," Su Li said with satisfaction.
In a room in the Hao Xian Sect.
Zhang Hao was sitting cross-legged, meditating. In front of him sat a girl around thirteen or fourteen years old, who was Liu Mengyao's younger sister, Liu Mengxue.
Although Zhang Hao had used the Yi Jin Xi Sui Pill to expel the cold poison from Liu Mengxue's body, because she had been afflicted by the cold poison for decades, Liu Mengxue's meridians had long withered. Zhang Hao was currently using his own True Qi to revitalize Liu Mengxue's meridians.
Originally, Liu Mengyao was the most suitable person to do this. However, because the Cultivation Technique Liu Mengyao practiced was also cold-attributed, having her expel the cold poison for Liu Mengxue would only make things worse. Therefore, it could only be done by Zhang Hao in the end.
An hour later.
Zhang Hao finished his work and was also somewhat sweaty. After all, revitalizing meridians was a very arduous task.
"Alright, your sister should be fine now," Zhang Hao said to Liu Mengyao with a smile.
Liu Mengyao looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Zhang Hao, thank you."
"Haha, it's just a small matter."
Zhang Hao helped Liu Mengyao support Liu Mengxue as she lay down.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao felt a strange energy boiling within his body, as if it was about to burst out. Zhang Hao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly circulated the energy within his body to suppress it.
"Zhang Hao, what's wrong?" Liu Mengyao saw Zhang Hao's abnormality and quickly asked.
"Mengyao, stay with Mengxue for now. I'm going back to my room."
As soon as Zhang Hao returned to his room, he quickly sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated his True Qi to suppress that strange energy.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao felt as if he was being spied upon. This feeling was very strong.
"Who! Come out!"
Zhang Hao's Spiritual Sense spread out like a spider web in all directions, searching for the source of his unease.
